Hi.......I just took a course in Medical Transcription, after practicing nursing almost ten years......Has anyone ever known a nurse to go into this field? I am excited that I won't have the awful stress of nursing anymore, and can work at HOME! :)
Obviously, the pay is less, but that's okay with me! :)
Oops, I forgot to add that I will miss the patients, but I will be able to get my patient-care "fix" by volunteering with hospice......it'll be the best of both worlds!
I have a friend who transcribes from home and loves it! You do need to tell family and friends that you are working and leave you alone! Some people think if you are home, then you are not working, but you are! It worked well with her family! Good Luck!
I as well am tired of working in the hospital and am looking into medical transcription. What program did you take? Did they provide your name to various transcription services to secure a job. I know the pay will be less but it is a trade off. Any advice would be great.
I've seriously considered it...sometimes nursing can get to be too, too much. Can you give us a pay range for a starting transcriptionist, just out of curiosity?
